Czech Facts
There are three distinct dialects in the Czech Republic - Common Czech, Moravian Czech and Silesian Czech. All are grammatically similar, but have different nouns and pronunciation
Czech is spoken by most people in the Czech Republic, although its form is very similar to Slovak, meaning that most adult Czechs and Slovaks are able to understand each other
As with most Slavic languages, many words have many inflections - many of which are extremely irregular

These courses in Czech are meant for those that feel that learning Czech would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's course, students can anticipate ending the course with basic telephone Czech and e-mail Czech skills for communicating, as well as survival Czech if a short visit to the country is needed.

This set of Czech tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Czech. Even though all novice students will cover survival Czech: enough Czech to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Czech culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Czech.

Reading
Home to over 150,000 people, Reading is a town located west of London. Starting out as a city built on the cloth trade, the 18th century saw Reading develop as an ironworking town as well as its now famous brewing trade. The 19th century revolved mainly around the three Bs of Reading: beer, bulbs and biscuits! Nowadays, Reading is a major shopping centre; home to 2 shopping malls and 3 smaller arcades catered to specialist markets. It is perhaps most famous for traditionally hosting two annual music festivals: the Reading Festival and WOMAD.
